I have to admit, you’ve got me intrigued now. Maybe I could go to B & N and read it in small, manageable increments.

In reply to Jenny.

The only reason I called it horror was because that was one of the subject headings on the website (along with fantasy). I’m glad you clarified that it’s more of a dark fantasy than horror because I don’t read horror at all. I still don’t know if I’ll read it though – it does look pretty creepy.

Would you call it horror? I guess it could be classified that way, given that it is mind-numbingly frightening – but I think of myself as a person who doesn’t read horror at all, ever. I would have called it dark fantasy. But good! I’m glad I’m not the only one to find it frightening. 🙂

You’re so thoughtful – but it’s okay, I eventually managed to make my computer cooperate!

I flipped through a few of the pages online, and it’s definitely not something you’d want to read with kids around, huh? I wasn’t sure just how scary a graphic novel could be (and didn’t realize horror graphic novels existed) but after browsing through a little bit I believe you about the scary part.

That was awesome. And very scary. I tried to find ways to copy and paste it into a document for you to read, but alas, could not

I expect it is scarier for me because it hits closer to home. I know it is not the 1930s right now (yay!), and Louisiana is certainly not Mississippi, but the history is my history, and the landscapes look just like places I’ve been, and the language sounds like home to me. So that is probably why.

Thanks for the recommendation, though, seriously. It was scary to me, but I really, really liked it.

lol, sorry Jenny! It just didn’t scare me that much for some reason. Now you have me wondering if there’s something wrong with me 😛
